In the photoelectric experiment, the frequency of the incident radiation is doubled. What will be its effect on the photoelectric current?
- A Photoelectric current will not change.
- B Photoelectric current will be doubled
- C Photoelectric current will be halved
- D Photoelectric current will become zero
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Photoelectric current will not change.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The photoelectric current in a photoelectric effect experiment depends on the intensity of the incident radiation, which corresponds to the number of photons incident per unit time per unit area. The frequency of the incident radiation determines the energy of each individual…
